Description
Air Canada jet crashes into airport fire truck at LaGuardia, killing two pilots. The incident raises questions about air traffic controller staffing and workload, as LaGuardia operates with fewer controllers than recommended. The NTSB chair questions if two controllers were enough amid the workload spike. The probe will investigate if low staffing or unclear duties played a role in the crash, as well as fatigue risks on overnights. FAA rules now mandate ten hours rest between shifts and twelve before or after midnights to cut errors.
